Announcement (2017-05-07): www.ruby-forum.com is now read-only since I
unfortunately do not have the time to support and maintain the forum any
more. Please see rubyonrails.org/community and ruby-lang.org/en/community
for other Rails- und Ruby-related community platforms.

jruby-maven-plugins version 1.0.4
---------------------------------
after a long time it reached 1.0.0 and got some more bug fixes already.
with those plugin you can run jruby with gem-artifacts, run tests
(junit,
minitest, rspec, cucumber) using those gems or pack them as embeded gems
into jar or war files
gem artifacts are offered by http://rubygems-proxy.torquebox.org/
some info can be found on jruby-wiki
* JRuby scripting container packed as jar with embeded gems:
https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/Jruby-Scriptin...
* JRuby scripting container inside a servlet packed as war:
https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/JRuby-Scriptin...
* minitest, rspec, cucumber test for you ruby script:
https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/Running-Minite...
all those pages use a Ruby-DSL for Maven
Ruby-Maven 3.1.1.0.8
------------------------------
basically a regular maven-3.1.1 installation with an extra thin wrapper
which "translates" a ruby file into a pom.xml
it comes with some "extras" feature to use a Gemfile, Jarfile or
gemspec-file as part of the POM. as well it leverages the
jruby-maven-plugins.
it also allows to execute code during a declared phase, i.e. like
inlined
maven plugins written in ruby.
Rubygems-Servlets
---------------------------
if you need Gem-Artifacts from your local rubygems repository you can
use
https://github.com/torquebox/rubygems-servlets
to proxy gem repository and deliver gem-artifacts.
for a more advanced solution use sonatype.org/nexus with
nexus-ruby-plugin
from:
https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-ruby-support
rubygems-servlets uses the same core as this nexus-plugin.
JBundler 0.6.1
-------------------
manage your jars for your ruby project with jbundler
* it uses ruby-maven now to lock down the version for the jars
* allows exclusions on jars (maven feature)
* uses jar-dependencies to "track and load" jars
the 0.6.x might break some existing project. in such a case please use
$ jbundle lock_down
instead of install and **open an issue**:
https://github.com/mkristian/jbundler
Jar-Dependencies 0.0.5
--------------------------------
* during runtime it tracks the version of loaded jars - if
require_jar(...)
is used to load it
* it can "vendor" the jars declared as "jar dependency" inside the
gemspec
file before packing them
* it can "vendor" the jars when you install the gem
see on how you can manage your jars with jbundler (and
jar-dependencies):

Clueing Things Together
---------------------------------
putting the Gemfile, Jarfile and some common maven-plugins, the
jruby-maven-plugins together. with the help of ruby-maven you can easily
pack
* a rack application ready to deploy on servlet-container:
https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/Rack-Applicati...
* or deploy it on heroku
